Root passwords

[Richard Lotz]

I probably shouldn't broadcast this but most of my root passwords consist
of a
substring which is the same, with some other bit tacked on that is to me
significant to the machine.

For ex:

sN at r^128

Would be a machine with an IP octet of 128 in it.

Just one of my personal systems.
